A GENUINE CREOLE FIGHT.

The recent Singular killing OLA young
New Orleans creole in a friendly
drunken fencing bout in club room,
recalls a more tragic and remarkable
episode that occurred in that city long
before it passed from the control of the
French.
The incident is mentioned it Meek 8
"Isomantic and Picturesque in the
History of Louisiana" and in Clai-
borne's "lIistory Of Mississippi" Six
young creoles, heated with wine, were
returning from Il stariit night, when
one of them exclaimed: "What n
lovely night ! and what an excellent
place for sword-ptay ~ "Yes, sup
pose we take II turn with the rapiers,"
replied another one. Then the two
who had spoken drew their rapicrs, or
short swords (Which were regularly
carried by French gentlemen of the
latter class in those days,) aud pro-
ceeded to fencing vigorously, as if en-
gagged in nu actual fight. "Why
should the rest Of us stand here idle ?"
exclaimed a third man, drawing his
rapier. Then they all drew and pro-
ceeded to fence, disposed in three
pairs. A passerby came along early
the next morning and found the six
young men stretched upon the ground,
five of them dead and the sixth one
MORALLY wounded. The survivor
gave full account of the occurrence
aud died few hours later.-N. O.

Spring were married at the residence of the
brides mother on Danforth street yesterday
morning. Rev. C. w. Buck, former pastor
of Park street church, assisted by Mr.. Will
liam M. Bradley, j. p, performed the cere-
mony. The house was made particularly
attractive through reason of the elegant
floral decorations. The bride was en- costume
wearing very rich white corded silk. The
groom was in evening dress. Only the i'm
mediate relatives Of Mr.. and Mrs. Talbot

young ladies of which Mrs. Talbot is a

CLEANED OUT THE HOUSE.
How Former Portland Pastor Suf-
fered from Burglars.

Rev. Julian K. Smythe was for several
years recently pastor of the New Jerusalem
Church on High street, but lately he has
the Boston Highlands. Late last spring Mr..
Smythe rented his house at No. % Montrose
street to tenant who gave the name of Mrs.
Josephine Miller. She wanted to spend the
summer at the Highlands, and as Mr.
Smythe desired to spend the summer months
out of town, a bargain was easily made.
Mrs, Miller took possession of the furnished
house early in the summer, and soon after
ward female companion joined her. The
officer on that route says that the house was
the scene Of revelry nearly every night, and
that hacks frequently waited at the gate for
occupants until daylight. Rev. Mr.. Smythe
returned home September 9th, and was sur
prised at the barrenness Of his rooms. Brio
a-brac of all kinds, dishes and silver ware,
and all sorts of household goods were MISS
ing; the total value of the articles being
more than $500. He at once reported the
loss 10 Chief Inspector Hanscom, who de-
tailed Inspectors Robinson and Burke to
hunt for Mrs. Miller and get an accounting
for the missing property. They learned
that Mrs Miller was in reality Miss jose
phine, an amateur actress Tuesday they
found her at Hotel Albemarle on Columbus
avenue, and most of the property claimed by
Mr. Smythe was found in her rooms. While
at No. 26 MontrOse street she went by the
name of "Mrs. j. Loring," as well as that of
Mrs. Josephine Miller She was arrested.

DECISION IN THE NAVAL CASE.
An Appeal Taken from the Decree
and Allowed by the Court.

Some time ago Albert B. Stevens OF Port
land, friend of Mary S. Mayal of this city.
petitioned to the City Government that the
lady, who is possessed of considerable prop
erty was of unsOund mind and requested
that Frederick Fox should be appointed her
guardian. The City Government made in
QUESTION into the facts in the case, and GER
titled to the Probate Court that Mary 5.
Mayal was of unsound mind and incompe-
tent to manage her estate.
A hearing in the case was held by the Pro-
bate Court, and at the October tenn Judge
Peabody rendered the following decision:
On the foregoing petition, inquisition hav-
ing been made, and due notice of the time
and place having been given according to
law, and the said Mary S. Mayall having ap-
peared by her attorneys to object thereto,
hearing being had, and the proofs Of the
parties having been carefully considered,
and it appearing ito the Court that all the
allegations of said petition are true and
proved, it is adjudged and decreed that said
Mary S. Mayall is of unsound mind and in
competent to manage her own estate and
protect her rights; and it is also decreed
that Frederick Fox of Portland, in said
county of Cumberland, be appointed guar
dian of the said Mary S. Mayall, and that
letters Of guardianship issue.to him, he first
giving bond in the sum of $4,000
The counsel for the appellants have APP
pealed from Judge Peabody's decision, on
the grounds, first, that the Judge had no
jurisdiction; second, that the petition of
Mr. Stevens does not allege that Miss Mayall
was such a person as the Judge Of Probate
may appoint guardian for under the laws
of this State; third, that it is nowhere al
legged in the petition that Miss Mayall is,
through iRfrmity or mental lneapaeity, in
competent to protect her rights or manage
her estate, and no such fact is found or re-
turned in the municipal inquisition, or ad-
judged In the Judge of Probate's decree,
and the Judge had no authority to appoint
guardian for her; fourth, that the Judge did
not decree Miss Mayall insane, and without
such judgment had no right to appoint a
guardian for her, and that she is not insane
nor incompetent; fifth, that Mary S. Mayall
is not insane nor incompetent; sixth,
that though old and feeble, she is
not insane nor incompetent; seventh
that the facts in the case do not
authorize the appointment of a guardian,
and that the appointment of guardian is
against her desire, and at her time of life
would work serious injury to her, and might
prove fatal.
Judge Peabody allowed the appeal, rea-
sons and bond being filed and recorded.
Mattocks, Coombs & Neal appear for the
petitioner, and Hon. M. P. Frank and Judge
Symonds for the appellants.

DEATH OF a RICAMIST.
A Portland Man Solves the Difficult
ties Of Double Wediock by Suicide.

About $50 o'clock Tuesday evening, Mr..
George Ii. Williams, living at the Falmouth
House, Boston, entered Station in that
city, and gave Lieut.. Gaskin two letters, one
of which was addressed to Mrs. Mary Clark,
No. 81 Portland street, Cambridgeport, and
the other to Albert Clark, house of correc-
ton, South Boston. Mr.. Williams said that
as he was coming across Cragie bridge, and
when near the draw on the Cambridge side,
saw man throw the two letters on the side
walk, and then deliberately jump overheard,
sinking without a struggle. Upon opening
the letter addressed to Mrs. Clark, the con-
tents were found to be as follows, written in
very hurried and blurred hand:
My Dear Wife: 1 die willing you shall be
my murderer If can't live with you, so 4 can't
live without you Maggie aud Jimmie. God bless
you. long goodbye, darling. A. S. CLARK.
The Cambridge authorities were at once
notified, and Mrs. Clark was found and sent
to Station in Boston. When asked if she
had seen her husband that evening, she re-
piled that she had, at her home about 7
O'Clock, when he took the carving knife and
said he was going to kill her. but was pre-
vented by Mr.. Brennan, who took the
hhiAS away AhOAh hiiAls anu hO thCu lClts Say
ing he would go and drown himself. "Well,"
said Lieut. Gaskin, solemnly, "Your hus-
band has drowned himself" HE is not my
husband" replied the woman. ''His wife
lives in Portland, Me-, and am wife No. 2,
but did not know he had another wife until
about six months ago. l did not think he
would keep his word when he said he would
drown himself, but il is the most sensible
thing he ever did" She said his real name
was Albert F. Hurd, alias Albert S. Clark, of
Portland, Me-, where his wife, Maria Hurd,
is now living She identified the letter adj
dressed to him at the house of correction, as
one she had sent him while he was at that
institution. at which time she visited him
with wife No. 1. Up to a late hour Tuesday
night the body had not been recovered
